Oh, so now we're related to snakes and vipers. Is anyone keeping track of all the names we've been called? Pamela Geller describes the latest overtures of the religion of peace:

"Antisemitism On Egypt's Al-Rahma TV – Children Memorize, Recite Antisemitic Slogans; Clerics Say Jews Are Offspring of Snakes and Vipers, Call For Reading 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion', And State: Our Hatred of The Jews is Purely on Religious Grounds – While Warning Against the Jewish-Zionist Starbucks, Domino's, Burger King & Others. Do the left wing Jewicidals ever read this shiz? The deniers of Islamic anti-semitism are as dangerous as these murderers. The disinformation manufactured by Islamic apologists will be the death of us all."

"President Obama hosts Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates and Boston cop James Crowley for a beer at the White House tonight. Let's hope they put away the breakables. Tempers are going to flare when the cop asks the president for his birth certificate."

Last night on National Geographic Channel, I saw a thoroughly disillusioning, unbelievable expose of Charles Lindbergh. I already knew he was an admirer of the Nazis, and an antisemite, but I didn't realize just how much of an antisemite and traitor he was until I saw this. The narrator said something along the lines of "He had gone from hero to villain in just 15 years." As if this wasn't shocking enough, it was not discovered until after his death that he seemed to have been attempting to perpetuate the Lindbergh species in Europe with his own personal Master Race, resulting in seven more children by three different women. Keeping this a secret would be completely impossible today.

"This is a new name for the people who think that they have a right to make someone else pay for their health care - and the politicians who support them. This name is for the people who think that it is the government's role to take care of their basic needs - and the politicians who pander for their votes: Entitlement Mobsters."

(Actually, this isn't exactly a new phrase, because I just found it online in a comment on this post from Sept. 2008 -- but it's still perfect!)

Pass this on -- Canadian Laura Rosen Cohen has written a great piece titled "Islam just isn’t into us", about Jews who wear blinders where Muslim antisemitism is concerned. She says,

"Dear fellow Jews, what is so hard to understand about 'we hate your guts, and will continue to kill and maim you'? Just last week, an 'inter-faith' Rabbi, the guest speaker at an ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) conference was shocked … shocked to hear that one of the guest imams felt that Jews deserved the Holocaust because they turned their backs against Allah. What is so hard to understand about that?......Jews: get this through your head once and for all. The Islamic world, under ts current leadership, is just not into you."

"If the charges against the rabbis are proved to have been correct," one veteran Brooklyn rabbi said, "it'll be the worst and most terrible blasphemy that will ever be remembered about the New York Jews."

Here's a nice story about Red Sox slugger Jim Rice, who has been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was one of my favorites when I loved baseball, but his fellow Gold Dust Twin Fred Lynn had the better personality.

"Health Care: From the president we now know that cops are stupid, doctors are greedy, Republicans don't play nice, people are dying and we're all going broke if we don't embrace socialized medicine in a week or so. "

I always like Greg Crosby's columns. Here's one where he pays tribute to the late Gale Storm and Sam Butera.

"The Tweet Your Prayers site's Frequently Asked Questions page asks what recourse users have if their prayers are not answered. 'Take it up with the Big Guy upstairs,' is the reply. 'We're just the middlemen!'"

His name should be "dreck", not Dwek! And here's a South African blogger who puts it very succinctly: "Oy Vey! Crooked Rabbis Bust for Corruption." At least when other Jews go bad, we don't blame it on antisemitism or go protesting and rioting in the streets. We take things like this, or the Bernie Madoff scandal, very personally, and we feel outraged, embarassed, and betrayed.

"Instead of making health care more like the DMV, how about we make it more like grocery stores? Give the poor and tough cases health stamps and let the rest of us buy health care -- and health insurance -- on the free market."

The haste and desperation of the Obama administration to force this health care plan on us should be red flags. If he's so worried about "the uninsured", let him come up with a basic health plan for them only -- and leave the rest of us alone!

Here's a charming story of antisemitic ranting at an Islamic convention attended by rabbis. While I'm not surprised to hear about Muslims blaming Jews for the Holocaust, I am always surprised to hear rabbis defending these haters!

"Can't afford health care? We'll get health care for you. Can't afford your home? We'll find a way to keep you in your home. Can't pay your tuition tab? Let us pick up the tab. Bit by bit, if you're down and out, the government happy to bail you out. And you don't really have to pay a thing — someone else will. Now, who wouldn't want a deal like that? Nothing beats a free lunch. Especially, as I said, when you're not picking up the tab. Rich folks are — just them — the whole tab."

Glenn Beck displayed the Democrats' health care plan chart on TV tonight, armed with blood pressure cuff and stethoscope! The white areas already exist; the areas in color will be implemented if the Dems get their way. You'll need a gastroenterologist after you see this.

Every day, there's yet another revelation about what Obama's doing to destroy this country. Instapundit links to Dick Morris' column that says that

“Obama’s health care proposal is, in effect, the repeal of the Medicare program as we know it. The elderly will go from being the group with the most access to free medical care to the one with the least access.”

Isn't that nice? But who cares, just so long as people who have never paid a dime into the system get "their" free health care!

"House Democrats are in (cynical, calculated) high dudgeon after a shocking "revelation" was made public this week. Brace yourself, because this bombshell isn't for the faint of heart: After 9/11, the Bush administration considered a CIA program designed to target and kill top al-Qaeda operatives. Gasp. It gets worse: Some members of Congress now say they weren't sufficiently briefed on the then-nascent secret program (which was never actually implemented), and it's even possible that Vice President Cheney intentionally kept lawmakers in the dark about the preliminary plans (which, again, never became operational)."

Aren't we supposed to kill terrorists, especially after they've killed 3,000 Americans in one day?

Wizbang offers more proof that liberal Democrats hate hard work and achievement. This is an article about how the Dens are going to keep taxing the rich:

"The people who really get hammered by these huge tax increases are the people who came from middle class backgrounds, went to college and then graduate school and mastered a highly-specialized vocation (or became a successful entertainer or athlete, but not a superstar), or who have started their own businesses, and then worked very hard to earn a comfortable middle-six-figure income. They are the people who followed their dreams and fulfilled the wishes of their parents by studying, working hard, and finally achieving success. They are the dreamers of the American Dream. They are usually the first generation of their family to really 'make it big.' They are the people that our country is supposed to help build up and reward. And the Democrats are poised to snatch everything they have worked for right out from underneath them, and, for those right at the edge of top tax bracket, leave them worse off financially than those who earn tens of thousands of dollars a year less per year."

"HOSP-ITALITY ABU$EILLNESS-FAKER BUMS TREAT ERS AS HOTELS - ON YOUR TAB. These bums are costing you a fortune. Ricky Alardo, a homeless alcoholic nicknamed Ricky Ricardo, swigs cheap vodka by day at his favorite corner in Washington Heights, then calls an ambulance to chauffeur him to the hospital for a free meal and a warm place to sleep, courtesy of taxpayers who fund his Medicaid benefits. For a chronic caller like Alardo -- who phones 911 four or five times a week -- the annual medical bill can be as high as $300,000. Over 13 years, the length of time he has been abusing the emergency room, he has cost the medical system an estimated $3.9 million."

And that's just one person! Multiply that by the millions of parasites in this country, and you can imagine the drain on necessary services -- and on taxpayer money! I have an idea: let the bleeding heart liberals pay the bills.

Wow - what a Cinderella story! Giants pitcher Jonathan Sanchez threw a no-hitter last night. He ought to send Randy Johnson a bouquet of flowers -- Johnson's going on the DL made it possible for Sanchez to return to the rotation, and to make history.

Michelle Malkin condemns "the bankrupt party of porkulus" and refers to the possibility of yet another stimulus as "Generational Theft Act II." The Democrats are robbing us blind -- yet hardly anyone cares! When is it going to stop?

What a big fool Barney Frank is! I loved this, too! But when I went to read more about this story, after seeing his disgraceful tirade in the Senate, oddly there were hardly any results on Google. Type in "Barney Frank + Senate envy" and see for yourself.

"For Obama, success is not the delivery of watertight nuclear security for America; it is a feel-good news conference and photo opportunity that will create huge approval ratings on liberal campuses where the delusions of 1968 and the anti-Vietnam war movement still linger on in these isolated Jurassic Parks." "

"The high-profile controversy over Israel’s policy of building new homes for Jewish settlements has in fact facilitated Hamas’s mission. Thanks to the Obama Administration’s new strategy regarding the Middle East, the entire world now seems to be obsessed with the issue of the settlements as if they were just now being established."

If you love history, you'll love this. Instapundit links to video clips showing Civil War veterans at the 75th anniversary of that battle. I remember seeing these images at the end of Ken Burns' marvelous "The Civil War".

"The Rev. Al Sharpton said yesterday at a church in Los Angeles that he is requesting that the U.S. Postal Service issue a Michael Jackson commemorative stamp, E! Online reports. The USPS typically requires a five-year waiting period after a death before issuing stamps. Sharpton also called for a national day of mourning, urging people to gather in schools, community centers, and churches to pay tribute to the singer on Tuesday"

"The city of Los Angeles is a half-billion dollars in the hole. Layoffs. Furloughs. Potholes unfilled, trees untrimmed. Animal services, the ethics commission, whack whack whack. So why, why, in any rational universe, should the city of L.A. pick up the policing tab for Michael Jackson's obsequies at Staples Center?"

I couldn't help laughing when I saw Soccer Dad's headline on Marion Barry's latest arrest: "Who set him up this time?" That was my own first thought when I heard this news. He, like so many famous people, has gotten through life by blaming others, and by being enabled by his admirers -- in this case, the idiot voters of Washington DC who keep electing him.

"My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!" ~Thomas Jefferson

"You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism." ~Erma Bombeck

Yesterday, The Anchoress was analyzing the hatred of Sarah Palin. Now that Palin has stunned us by announcing her resignation as Governor of Alaska, some are speculating that she is doing so in order to run for President in 2012. Now, after what she's already been through, why on earth would she willingly make herself and her family the target of further vituperation?

"I hope that you got the chance to see the exchange yesterday at White House press briefing. Robert Gibbs starts to get really flustered when a CBS reporter continues to hound him over the fact that Obama town hall events are completely staged. There are no 'random' questions from the audience. Everything is pre-selected, every question is screened, etc. So this reporter calls him out on it, and then Helen Thomas gets involved. She says that she has never seen this level of control in the White House before. And if anyone should know, Helen Thomas would. I just LOVE that woman!"

"A copy of the US Declaration of Independence has been discovered in Britain. The document, which is in perfect condition, is believed to be one of only 200 printed and was stumbled upon among files at the National Archives in Kew, southwest London, by an American doing research."

"Unless the powers that be in the Senate can put a big, fat muzzle on his mouth, Al Franken’s brand of politics and caustic deportment would make him the poster child for everything that’s wrong in America in 2010. The Senate’s own Rosie O’Donnell."
